BJA’s VALOR for Blue Adds New Online Learning Module

Registered users can visit the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance’s VALOR for Blue Web site to access a new online training that overviews research conducted by the FBI Behavioral Science Unit to evaluate the officer, the offender, and the circumstances that brought them together in deadly force encounters. The training examines case studies of officers who faced a drawn gun and a suspect’s account of his decisions after killing an officer and identifies the moral, mental, and physical preparations necessary for officers to survive violent encounters. Each new VALOR for BlueLearning module includes printable handouts, a promotional poster, and ready-to-use resources.
